Jesuits in Pakistan

27/08/2026

Today we celebrate reaching 1,000 followers, a small number in the world of social media, but a meaningful community to us. Each one of you who follows, likes, shares, or simply reads along is part of how this mission reaches further.

To our students, alumni, parishioners, friends of the Jesuits, and everyone who has walked with us, thank you. Your support, prayers, and encouragement mean more than a number ever could.

As St. Ignatius reminds us, we strive "to find God in all things", including in this small digital corner where we get to share that search with you.

Here's to the next thousand, and to continuing this journey together. 🙏

Take, Lord, and receive my life as it is today:
my dreams and disappointments,
my successes and failures,
my memories and hopes,
my fears and my joys.
Receive my work and my rest,
my family and my friends,
my conversations and my silence,
my plans and the unexpected turns along the way.
Receive every ordinary moment,
for You have been present in them long before I recognized You.
Take my time, my talents,
my voice, my compassion,
my strengths and my weaknesses,
and all the opportunities You place before me each day.
May everything I have become,
and everything I have yet to become,
find its purpose in You.
Receive the burdens I carry,
the questions that remain unanswered,
the wounds that still seek healing,
and the hope that keeps me moving forward.
Receive the people You have entrusted to my care
and every encounter through which You reveal Your presence.
All that I am, all that I have,
and all that I will ever be
comes from You.
To You, Lord, I return it with gratitude,
trusting that You continue to lead me
through the ordinary moments of life,
where Your love is quietly at work.
All is Yours.
Dispose of it according to Your loving will.
Whether in moments of clarity or uncertainty,
in joy or sorrow, in work or rest,
may my life always belong to You
and give greater glory to Your name.
Give me only Your love and Your grace.
Those will be enough for every tomorrow,
as I continue to find You
in the midst of life.
Amen.

🕊️ Healing the Heart 🕊️

Last Saturday, July 25th, our Youth Prayer Group gathered at Loyola Hall for a beautiful evening of prayer, reflection, and healing. 💫

Guided by Fr. Harry Kristanto SJ and hosted by Miss Roma Shamshad, our young people came together to open their hearts and let God's healing touch reach the wounds we often carry in silence.

The evening was made even more special with a beautiful origami activity, a gentle reminder that just like paper folded with care and patience becomes something beautiful, our hearts too can be reshaped and made whole by God's love. 🙏🕯️

Grateful for every young soul who showed up, prayed, laughed, and grew in faith together. Truly a session filled with grace! ✨

"Come and taste and see" (Psalm 34:8) 🙏 Highlights from our "Come and See 2026" experience, where young men explored Jesuit life up close — prayer, community, and mission. Discernment begins with an encounter.

The Jesuits in Pakistan are pleased to formally announce the installation of Fr. Robertus Bellarminus Rijo Moersanto, SJ, as the new Superior of the Jesuit Mission in Pakistan.
The installation ceremony marked a significant milestone in the ongoing life and mission of the Society of Jesus in this land. We express our deep gratitude to God for His continued providence over this mission, and we thank all who have journeyed with us in faith, dialogue, and service throughout the years.
As Fr. Rijo assumes this responsibility, we entrust him and the entire mission to the intercession of St. Ignatius of Loyola and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We look forward to the fruits this new leadership will bring — in strengthening our apostolic works, deepening interfaith dialogue, and accompanying the people of Pakistan with renewed commitment.
We kindly ask the community, our partners, and friends of the Jesuit Mission to keep Fr. Rijo in your prayers as he begins this new chapter.
Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam.

REFLECTIONS 🤔💭: After three years of being ad experimentum with the Jesuit Conference of Asia Pacific (JCAP), the Pakistan Jesuit Mission pauses to reflect on what it means to live and serve in this land.

After three years of being ad experimentum with the Jesuit Conference of Asia Pacific (JCAP), the Pakistan Jesuit Mission pauses to reflect on what it means to live and serve in this land. These years have not been easy. Pakistan is often described as an “arduous” place...

“During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, ‘Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.’” Luke 1:39–42
